extending user class

Wednesday 31 March 2004 4:17:13 pm

I need some help in extending the user class. I am extending the user class to add the address in the user registration form. I added Address as a text field. It shows up ok on the form and stores the data as well. But it doesn't add those fields to the emails.

I want to include the user name and the address in the feedback and confirmation emails.

Need some guidance.
I am on eZ3.3

TIA,

Vivek

Hi Eirik,

Thanks for your reply. I understand that I need to override the registrationinfo.tpl and registrationfeedback.tpl files. But the question is how do I call the address value in these templates.
The login is called by user.login and email by user.email. I have dumped all the attributes and thier values for user variable. The address attribute is not present in the user variable. I am guessing the address is being stored in $contentobject_attribute array in the user variable.
How do I get the value in the template files.

Thanks again
Vivek

I read this tutorial but didn't find it of much help. register.tpl doesn't need to be overridden since the new fields show up fine without overriding the templates.

I didn't understand the ezurl.tpl modifications in the tutorials.

Hi Vivek

I've been trying to figure this out myself. How did you do it?
